To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, AN'roN` KAUFMAN, 'a citizen of the United States, residin in the city and county of Philadelphia, tate of 5 Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Make-Up Table, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of a make-up table for printing shops in which the table top can be raised or lowered from either side of the table.

It further consists of s uch a table in which the top can be accurately adjusted at any hei ht within proper limits and remain at its evel.

It further consists of means in ,such table for providing additional adjustment of the height of the top.

It further consists of other novel features ,20 of construction, all as will be hereinafter means of which the disk, connected to the cam-mechanisms raising and lowering the top, is supported. Fig. 6 represents an am'al section of the upper end of one of the legs. Fig. 7 represents a detail side-view of one of the cam-devices.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings, the referenceL numerals l indicate the legs of the table, which have preferably universally rotatable caster-brackets, 2, at their lower ends, in whichl caster-wheels, 3, are journaled. The legs are preferably tubular and are connected by upper braces, 4, and lower braces, 5, having their ends secured in socket-heads, 6, secured upon the legs.

Disk-heads, 7, have their sockets secured upon tubular plungers, 8, which are slidable in the upper ends of the tubular legs, and

resents a detail plan view of the spider by the table-top, 9, is supported upon said diskheads. Y

A cam-sleeve, 10, is slidably secured upon the upper end of each plunger, being held 1n p lace by a p1n, 11, passing through holes, 12, 1n the cam-sleeve andone pair of two serles of holes, 13, in the plunger. The lower edge of the cam-sleeve 1s formed with two diametrically opposite cam-adges, 14, which engage corresponding cam-'edges15,

upon the upper edge of the sleeve, 16, rotatable upon the plunger and bearing with its lower end upon the end of the leg. vWhen, said sleeve is rotated, the oblique edges of the sleeve slide beneath the oblique camedges upon the plunger, so that the camsleeve and plunger can, by rotating the camsleeve 16, raise or lower the plunger and the table-top. A cross-bar, 17, is secured at its ends upon the mddles of two of the upper cross-bars of the table-frame, and has an upright bolt, 18, secured inits middle by means of nuts, 19. A cross-frame or fourarmed spider, 20, is pivoted at its center upon said bolt and has a disk, 21, secured to tslarms and pivoted at its center upon said Connecting-rods, 22, have their inner bent ends, 23, pivoted in holes, 24, in said disk, and have their outer forked ends pivotally connected by bolts, 25, through the latter to arms, 26, projecting radially from the rotatable 'cam-sleeves.

A handle-bar, 27, is pivoted upon the central bolt beneath the spider and is secured to the same, so that the spider and disk can be horizontally rocked by said handle-bar from either end of the table. The camsleeves upon the legs will be rocked lfrom the disk by the connecting-rods and the rotation of said sleeves, co-acting with the non-rotatable cam-sleeves upon the plungers will raise or lower the tabletop. The top can lbe further adjusted by adjusting the plungers carrying the top within the nonrotatable sleeves by means of the pins.

The top of the table can be adjusted to any desired height between reasonably required limits, the operating lever is accessible from all points around the table, and the inclined cam edges are at such angles of inclination that the top can be easily .raised or lowered under the load of the form upon the table, while retaining the table at Vany height to which it may be set. The construction of 110 the table is simple and substantial and is not liable to breakage nor to get out of order during ordinary usage.

The telescoping construction of the legs, actuated in unison, insures a level' movement of the top and a firm connection, between the latter and th'e legs, so that manipulation of the form and placing the same upon e or removing the same from the top of the table will not disturb the position of the top in its relation tothe leg-support.

Other modes of applying the principle of my invention may be employed for the mode herein explained. Change may therefore be 'made` as regards the mechanism thus dis closed,.provided the principles of construction set forth, respectively, in the following olaimsare employed.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is v 1. ln a make-up table, tubular legs, a top provided With plungers'telescoping in said legs, cam-sleeves longitudinally adjustable upon said plungers and having inclined lower cam-edges, cam-sleeves having inclined upper camedges coperating with said former cam-edges and rotatable upon the plungers and upon the ends of the legs, and means for simultaneously rotating said latter sleeves.

2. ln a make-up table, tubular legs, a top 3. In a'make-up table, tubular legs, a topI provided with plungers telescoping in the upper ends of said legs anduformed each With series of holes, cam-sleeves longitudinally adjustable upon said plungers and having inclined lower cam-edges and registering holes in its Walls, pins through said holes, cam-sleeves rotatable upon the plun- Agers and having inclined upper cam-edges engaging the cam-edges of the former sleeves, and means for slmultaneously rotatingsaid last cam-sleeves.
